The other sc10 that I'm having trouble with is all over the track with just a little turn on the steering wheel. I'm using the RTR transmitter(AE XP3-SS). Is there something on that transmitter I could adjust to slow down the steering?
My other sc10 4x4 is running the MMP, 1410 and 14t pinion. Within the same amount of running time the 1410 will get warm, but the 550-SL will get blazing hot.
Never played around with the AE transmitter, I pulled the receiver out and put it in a box but besides that the Reedy motors get damn hot. Your 14t pinion is what I always ran on my truck and after 10 min run I'd be around 150 degrees if not hotter. I've pulled some respectable lap times with that stock motor and esc. If you look at Brian Kinwalds under the hood sc10 4x4 there's a little setup pulling out the receiver box and mounting a couple of fans. I've never done it but theres a good chance someone on here has.
